Note: dated 11/III 1901

11/III 01 [Munich].

Dear P. B.,

I received your letter today (with the copy of the excessively laudatory review from the Parisians) and am hurrying to send you another copy of *The Development of Capitalism*. How could I have overlooked that the copy I sent you was so poor?

In any case, I had absolutely **no choice** at that time.

Leiteieusen's article, in my opinion, is not quite... but it seems, nevertheless, it will be useful.

Others have found it, it appears, better than I have.

Regarding Shower I have no idea whatsoever. I'll ask others.

I'm sending you the issues of *Weltpolitik* that I have. If you need all of them in sequence, you will probably have to turn to the author himself, who is obligingly printing his address again.

The *Zaria* has proofread the final sheet.¹) Soon...

Regarding the twentieth anniversary of 1/III²) Alexei [Martov] wanted to write. He wrote, and—I don't know. I'm expecting him soon.

I shake your hand firmly.

Your Petrov.

1) No. 1 of *Zaria* came out on March 23, 1901; Vladimir Ilyich informs Axelrod of the imminent publication of *Zaria*.

2) Article on the twentieth anniversary of the execution of Alexander II by the People's Will (March 1, 1881). Neither in the third (April) nor in the fourth (May) issue of *Iskra* is there an article on this subject.

V. I. LENIN — P. B. AXELROD.
